It looked like Fred Dineage! It seemed to have the local ITV news background behind it.

Anyone else see that strange floating test card just after the first half of tonights coronation street? I'm in the london region.


No. I am in the Meridian region and I didn't see it. Was it after the Coronation Street End of Part titles or the sponsorship sting or the ITV 1 bumper?

Here is the end of the weather that someone else mentioned in this thread...

In London it was a image of Fred Dineage on a test card in the form of the Carole Hersee one floating on screen behind the ITV local news background. It appeared after the "end of part one sting"

That's quite annoying. I normally record Coronation Street on ITV1 London but I chose my home region of Meridian on 103 tonight. How ironic that Fred Dinenage would make an appearance for London viewers but not viewers in the South who have been loyal to him for many years.

Anyway, when is someone going to post a video and/or image of this odd occurrence?

That's quite embarrassing, we've put Fred back in his box now.

The reason for the long hold on the end of last night's evening weather was due to confusion over the duration! It wasn't helped by the fact that presentation responsibility for ITV's output had been transferred to the NTC in Leeds due to a fire at TNS in Chiswick Park...

That is probably the explanation for the great Fred Dinenage's appearance too!

Which amazingly, no contributor to this forum managed to capture. Someone must have a recording of Coronation Street that they haven't checked yet.

Doesn't PlymouthStu record them all so he can "fast forward through Dev's scenes" - or is that just something he says?
